    Saturday May 12th

    A very early good morning to all - have just come in from a night's dancing so thought I'd start the day before going to bed by saying GOOD MORNING! Had a great evening - dancing is a wonderful stress reliever and is such a positive thing - how can you dance and be miserable??

    Do you remember those times when you came in after a night's drinking trying to be quiet? "sshhhhhh! you'll wake someone! giggle giggle, oops I knocked something over, giggle, oh s**t, where's the light switch????" Not happy memories - so I'm glad to say I arrived home sober, could talk sensibly to my daughter and her boyfriend, am now enjoying a few words with friends here and KNOW I'm going to wake up bright eyed and bushy-tailed later this morning! Being AF is great!

    Have a wonderful weekend everyone - Look forward to hearing what you're all doing later :l

    Good morning Arial,

    I thought to myself, oops, what's Arial doing up so early? It's 8 o'clock here in Asia, so it should be around 3 am in Europe?! So, top of the morning to you!

    I'm having a sore throat. Pollution levels are so bad here, that this is the second month running that I'm dealing with sore throat - and only antibiotics can beat it around here, :-(

    Anyway, unlike you, I'm still trying to get a grip on myself with AF. Most of the time, I'm moderating pretty well, but aiming for AF, that's why I'm always posting on this thread ...

    Anyhoo, another w-end, so which all of you guys a good one!

        Mornin'/evenin'/aft'noon all...Satdee night for the melon, and she now REALLY looks like a melon, as she has had all her waist length hair cut to an inch all over!!!!! I THINK I like it, but I'm still in shock at myself....people at work are going to think a lego man has joined the ranks.

        Got up at stoopid 4:30 this morning which I was dumbfounded at at the time, but am now really glad, as I did all my chores and dog walkies early on, and now it's an evening of relaxation and piehole stuffing to look forward to, and it's the Balds turn to promenade the hell hound this evening so YIPPEEEEEEEE............

        Nice to hear the dancing went gorgeously Arial...and sounds like the return home was one to be proud of too so way to go Missus!!!
        Sorry to hear about the throat Paddywhack...make sure you are also quaffing plenty of acidophilus if antibiotics are a regular fing with you my boy....got to replace all the good guys in your gut!
        Hi Monakitty...wot are you up to treasure......lots of nice comments from you about everyone else, but no news from the meow meow home front????

        Love to all and sundry who come after...everyone comes after the melon as she is the first in the time zone race whether you like it or not (only race THIS chainsmoking fruit is ever likely to win, that's for sure:H)...hahahahahahaha

        Happy Saturday Abbers, and may the weekend hold nothing more stinky than the occasional stubbed toe.....xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxx

          Mornin' Glories! Waking up feeling happy, joyous and free! Day 13 AF for me...Yay! I did have a couple of 'drinking' dreams this week..chaotic, crazy dreams...that's usually how they go when I'm making big changes, so no big surprise, but interesting. A day in the yard for me...still lots of winter clean up left, mowing grass..cleaning house. I'll be back later and try to do personals...I'm not so great at doing that..by the time I'm writing, I forget names and details..maybe because I've usually been in a hurry...maybe now that I'll 'be still' more often, it won't feel hard for me. I'm always honored and humbled to be remember or noticed by anyone here, and just love to read about everyone.
          Thanks Monakitty..yes, and how are you doing these days?
          Be back in a bit...have a lovely day lovelies!

            Day 120 AF today, never thought I would get there. I am happy I have, even though I know I can never truly beat this. I am thankful I can wake up early in the morning and run without feeling like I have been run over by a train. I have enjoyed seeing my body change from drab to healthy, I may not be super skinny, but there is a big difference between your body drunk, and the healthy glw you have when you are sober. I am off for my run this morning, getting a good 6 miles in. I am beggining training for my first full marathon--i have run 3 half marathons, and I figured you only get one chance at life right, lets see what I can do, just how far can I push myself. I am excited to take on this new challenge. Training for the past races has made me grow in so many ways.

            I want to thank you all, for all the support you have given me, you are truly some of the best friends I have. A year ago I never could have imagined that I would be ale to overcome all that was holding me down, and I was able to do it--I have very low confidence then, mostly because I felt like a failure all the time. I had to learn that not achieving goals is not failing, just not attemping to achieve them is when you fail yourself. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.

            Victoria

              Good on you girl...and just remember, all the support in the world don't do it alone, YOU had a pretty big part it in too! Your determination to be healthier and happier (6 miles????????????....I can barely write it without having to lie down:H) has paid off BIG time missus...this piece of fruit is SOOOO pleased that things are going so beautifully for you.
              GO RUNNER GIRL.
              Howdy Di...busy, busy, busy....I too will have had a weekend of chores by Sunday night, but it's so good to see it all clear and organised ain't it?? Here's to a sparkly yard.....and a big THANKS that the drinking really was only in a dream!!........YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

                AF 13 days. Had a lovely time with my old friend last night getting caught up. Hard to imagine what the evening would have been like had I ordered wine with dinner, even one glass makes it hard for me to focus on conversation. So it was nice to focus, and know that I was able to focus. Congrats Vic - 120 days AF! Glad you danced til the wee hours Arial, Weemelon, enjoy your new 'do, but isn't it winter down there? Brr! Di - my dreams have gotten very vivid as well, no drinking dreams yet. Paddy - what weemel said, also maybe garlic and ginger boiled in chicke broth that kicks viruses in early stages! Today is my monday, so I've got a few hours of putter time before I'm off to do my rub-a-dubs!

                    Thanks Zinc and Melon - the Lead citizens from Planet Zing for your great advice on burning the hell out of the viruses.

                    So now that it is Tuesday, and tomorrow Friday, I'm looking forward to next week's Christmas celebrations! And next week's Thanksgiving will be great, too.

                        Hello All.
                        I've just got my internet connection back. I was starting to panic.
                        Well my party was OK. I was a good boy. Two and a half pints of lemonade and some decent food.
                        Got up early for work (on a Saturday. I hate it).
                        Now I'm watching my grandaughter watching the Eurovision Song contest.
                        Day 42 and feeling good, but not as good as you Victoria. You're a star.

                          howdy to all the happy ABers across the fruited plains. Dx and I had a super fun day of sightseeing in Yorktown and Williamsburg. We walked our butts off, had ice cream and iced coffee (It's bloody hot here) and now we're going down for pizza and wine with friends. except I'm having O'douls....sigh. I used to love wine and pizza. anyway spirits are good and I can't wait to get back home tomorrow night and start peeling some garlic! I'm in withdrawal! No marathons in my near future but am really looking forward to getting back to jiu jitsu monday night. I haven't been getting all my regular supps due to travel and forgetting some of them and I can feel the difference...not good. But I'm hanging in there nicely. Everybody have fun and I will leave you with one pearl of wisdom: if you hurt your knee.....go to Africa where the Knee grows. oh, dear...I need to eat something.

                              Lady Di,
                              You sweet thoughtful "Lady", to ask how I am doing. Thanks for that.
                              Well, I could be doing better with AF.
                              Moderation just doesn't work for me.
                              I am so inspired by your courage to resign from your 9 to 5 job, and work at home.
                              When do you start working from your home studio?
                              Have a great weekend, everyone on this thread.
                              Meow-Meow
